Waffles in the shape of Jesus on the cross.

communion waffles
it's fucking jesus, he could do it if he wanted to
you know, I was just thinking that
England rules, Ireland is slightly worse in some choice fields of demographic study.
Suck it down bitches.
but england has a much higher volume of english people
God damn it. Seriously, Ireland, what the fuck is your problem? Like just ten minutes ago you mostly figured out to stop blowing up churches that have the "wrong" kind of Jesus-worship, and now you do this? Fuck.
And Poles/Pakistanis.
I know. But it's also geographically further from the United States of America, so it's really quite even.
Exactly. But the 1984 scenario really gets people riled up so of course it will be trotted out.
In the end, I don't see this law being strictly enforced anyway if at all.
Yeah because a government authority having too much power never turns out poorly for the population.
When Ireland turns into a dictatorship, let me know.
listen
stall the ball for one minute, I am very pissed off about this law
but, unfortunately our constitution requires that there be a law about blasphemy. Up to this point we have had a law about it, which was unenforceable due to there being a lack of a proper definition of what blasphemy is.
since the European convention on human rights act, the courts have been required to interpret laws so as they be compatible with the act if possible.
So last year there was a review of the constitution with the idea of updating some laws.
Now we may not like it, but it's in our constitution and we can't really ignore that, and calling a referendum over this would be very expensive and we are kind of up to are tits in recession at the moment.
so really I don't know what the right thing to do is all I can say is that I'm not happy about it.
One more thing, in our states history only one case of blasphemy was ever brought before the courts, so that is worth noting.
it's still a really bad law with a lot of room for abuse
While alot of people are saying that having the capacity for an injust law is pretty terrible in and of itself.
These are both valid points.
Just wanted to point that out.
I know it was proposed before but nothing came of it
Right because bad government always comes in the form of dictatorship.
Right but that's what needs to happen. I see your thing about "it's kinda vestigial and it's expensive to fix" but really, seriously, that shit has to get fixed.
Yes but noone mentions these laws in a serious context. To do so is quite embarrassing, Ireland.
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
So what are you trying to argue about here?
"This law is bad."
Because it does.
"Unless you believe what we tell you to believe, you will be condemned to an eternity of suffering beyond imagining because you had the gall to be born."
How does that not constitute "oppressive psychological manipulation"?
